DmCDmC Golden Brown, texture like sun DmCDmC Lays me down, with my mind she runs DmCDmC Throughout the night, no need to fight DmCDmC Never a frown with golden brown DmCDmC
DmCDmC Every time, just like the last DmCDmC On her ship tied to the mast DmCDmC To distant lands, takes both my hands DmCDmC Never a frown with golden brown
